Fourth Days observation-disclosures
Relations Dissolved.
Reported for the Dispatch

PETERSBURG, Va, May 6, 1887.
At the afternoon session yesterday
the Old.Stre church, of Petersburg,
presented call for Licentiate Chalmers
Moore TO become their pastor. The
call was accepted, and the presbytery
proceeded to examine Mr. Moore, with
q view 10 ordination. At the same time
two candidates for icensure, Matthew
Ii. Porter, Jr.. and Joseph Rennie,
passed satisfactory examinations, as
did the candidate forordination on the
ology, church history, the sacraments,
and church government.
After the usual opening exercises
this morning the Rev. L. 7. Epes
asked leave to resign the pastoral
charge of the Manchester church. The
action Of the church was presented ex-
pressing their concurrence in the re-
quest OF their pastor, their affection for
him, and pain in parting with him.
MIR. Henry Fitzgerald, elder from the
church. made touching remarks as he
stated his personal feelings in parting
with his beloved pastor The pastoral
relation was then dissolved, and Mr..
Epes was dismissed, in accordance with
his request, to Winchester Presbytery,
with view TO his taking charge of the
church at Woodstock, Va.
The Rev. James T.. Smith, chairman
of the Permanent Committee on the
Eyangelizstion of the Colored People,
read letter from Rev. w. 7. Hall,
ID. D., chairman of the Synodical Com
mittee, on this subject. He also pre-
scented from the committee a report OF
the work in the presbytery. There are
two churches of colored people under
care of the presbytery--one at Ash
land, to which Licentiate w. 5. Smith
breaches, the other in Mecklenburg
county, ministered to 10y Licentiate
Joshua Darlington. These colored Ii
eentiates are under the care of the
presbytery. There is also a congrega-
ton in Richmond not yet formally or
gained. The Northern Presbyterian
Church has both ministers and churches
within the bounds of this presbytery-
namely, in Amelia, Nottoway, and Pc
tersburg. There is a college in Norfolk
under care Of the United Presbyterian
Church with between eight hundred and
nine hundred students. Other inte-
resting facts with regard TO the work
were presented.
Whilst the subject of this report was
under consideration two colored min
listers, Rev. William L. Smith, of Ash
land, and Rev. York Jones, of Peters
burg, addressed the presbytery by spe-
cial invitation. They gave account OF
their work in their respective fields, set
forth its difficulties and its encourage
ments, and clearly presented the needs
of the colored people and the work to
which our Church is called for their re-
hgious improvement. Their addresses
were both interesting and able.
At ~ NJ. Candidate Joseph Rennie
preached trial-sermon, which was APP
proved as satisfactory. Lectures were
also heard from Candidates Porter and
Rennie and approved.
The presbytery took recess.
